Tens of thousands of people join together each year at the beautiful Lake Eden grounds in order to experience the power that music, art and culture have to transform lives, strengthen community and foster unity.
The festival takes places Thursday, October 20th through Sunday, October 23 at Lake Eden in Black Mountain. A weekend at LEAF is the equivalent of going on a year-long multi-cultural musical and dance odyssey. LEAF is a strong family and friend tradition that “recharges our batteries” twice a year. Great value! Great Times!
